Scissors, shears, hacksaws, scissors, pruners, without forgetting the new proposals for cordless saws: the offer is truly vast, but how do you find your way around? Alberto Corbetta helps us understand which pruning equipment to buy and makes suggestions for the purchase of valid and long-lasting products.
